2ly, The next Scripture-Prophecy, that shows clearly how the Lord's People should sing now in Gospel-Days, is that in Isa. 52. 7, 8. Thy Watchmen shall life up the Voice; with the Voice together shall they sing. It is worthy your noting to consider, what Time this Prophecy did refer to; which you may soon see, if you read the Context, How beautiful upon the Mountains are the feet of them that bring good Tidings, &c. Which the Apostle absolutely applies to the Time of the Gospel, and to Gospel-Ministers, Rom. 10. 15. And the Prophet doth not only say, The Watchmen shall lift up their Voice, and with the Voice together sing, but also calls upon the desolate and waste places to sing together; which can refer to none but the Lord's People, who in Gospel-Days shall be made a Praise to him who had been as a poor barren and waste Wilderness. For (saith the Prophet) in the next words, The Lord hath made his Arm bare in the Eyes of all Nations, and the ends of the Earth shall see the Salvation of God, Vers. 10.
